F. H. S vainly in search of Room 27. We gradually became acquainted with the school, and with the aid of Mr. Reeves, our adviser, we selected the following class officers: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Reporter Sandra Curtice Mary Jane Capano Gerald Bentley David Durfee Ruth Tollisen Beatrice Simmons William Rourke Student Council Richard Akin William Mulreadv At last came initiation. The Seniors put us through all sorts of pranks. We survived, only to take our revenge three years later. During the year we sponsored a Freshmen Hop and a juke-box dance, both of which proved profitable. We had taken another step upwards and were now Sophomores. We occupied rooms 26. 28. and 29. with Mrs. Von Haggin and Miss Hulihan as our advisers. We got right down to business and elected our class officers: President Gerald Bentley Vice President Richard Coonradt Secretary Margaret Chase Treasurer Mary Jane Capano Reporter Nicholas DeLuca Student Council Winifred Hunt Richard Akin Mary Jane Capano Nicholas DeLuca We sponsored a Soph Carnival, a vic-dance. movies every Saturday and a dog raffle. f We also upheld the tradition of giving red roses to the Seniors for the National Honor Society. In all it proved to be one of our fruitful years. A - - fnige twenty-fight CLuii . . . continued We came back in September of 1949 as Juniors. Our advisers were Miss Leary and Miss Capeless, and our homerooms were 11 and 21. Our officers for the year w ere: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer William Rourke Robert Blake Sandra Curtice Winifred Hunt Student Council Beatrice Simmons Victor Grogan Mary Jane Capano Giles Russell Kendall Simpson c We ordered our class rings, and they arrived in I ebruarv. During the year we sponsored a movie and a food sale which were both successful. June came very suddenly, and also oui Junior Prom, the biggest event of the year for us. 1950 was here and we were Seniors. Imagine!! All that we had been striving for, through twelve years of hard work, was now at an end. Officers for the first half were: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Winifred Hunt David Durfee Student Council Joseph Gahn Gerald Bentley Margaret Chase Wilma Siemens Mary' Jane Capano Joseph Gahn We held a revised edition of initiation in October. Instead of the usual rumpus, the Seniors presented skits in which both Freshmen and Seniors participated. The Freshmen were required to wear “beanies”, and a dance was given on the last night of the initiation period in their honor. Our class homerooms were 14 and 15, and we chose Miss Colberg and Miss Hulihan as our class advisers. Our class colors are blue and silver. Ou - motto: Live to learn, go forth to serve. ut January we elected officers for the second half: President Joseph Gahn Vice President Gerald Bentley Secretary Winifred Hunt Treasurer Mary Jane Capano • Graduation is almost here and will be a reality at last. Now that the time for us to leave is fast approaching, we shall depart with a mixed feel- ing of sadness and gladness to become alumni of Hoosick Falls High School. Mary Jane Capano • jdijir twenty-nim CLu. M' We, the Class of 1951, of Hoosick Falls High School, Hoosick Falls, Rensselaer County, New York State, undoubtedly being of unsound and undeposing mind and memory, and being of brilliant character, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our very Last Will and Testament. First, to the faculty we bequeath our regrets that they are parting with such an intelligent, obedient, and co-operating class, as the Class of 1951. To the under-classmen we leave our excellent abilities with hopes that they will follow in our footsteps. Here is a list of bequests left by the individual: Richard Akin leaves Prof. Bullock without anyone to argue with in Ag. 4. Marlene Archer leaves Miss Hulihan minus one good student. Donald Babcock gives up school. Harvey Baker leaves still shipping along in his car. Gerald Bentley bequeaths the first seat in the band to Richard Liporace. John Bierwirth leaves school to whoever will take it. Robert Blake leaves his knack of arguing to David Hansen, but we think David can do all right without it. Marion Borage leaves Miss Smith minus someone to holler at. Ella Brenenstuhl leaves Miss Case minus a good student. Malcolm Brownell leaves for the Army (maybe). Paul Brownell deserts us for Potsdam (He hopes). Gloria Burdick leaves quietly. Marilyn Byars leaves her seat on the White Creek bus to anyone brave enough to ride in it. Mary Jane Capano leaves Anchors Aweigh to Estelle Oberg. Christina Carlos leaves still telling Barbara Cottrell???? Margaret Chase leaves for Oneonta. Richard Coonradt leaves still dreaming about Mrs. Von Haggin. Carl Cottrell leaves Nancy to find another way home at noon. Fred Cottrell leaves Tuffy with the annoyed teachers. Charles Cox leaves his brother Frank to get into trouble. Sandra Curtice leaves following Nicholas. James Cutler relinquishes basketball managing to Chatter. Nicholas DeLuca leaves still crazy about Sandy. Gladys Dooley deserts ufFto climb up those “golden stairs”. David Durfee forsakes four years of his life. Janet Eddy just wants to leave. page thirty dLili (WiCl . . . continued Joseph Gahn gives up all the fun he had here at H. F. H. S. to the under-classmen. Victor Grogan bequeaths his car to anyone in the Driver’s Training Class who is brave enough to drive it. Louis Haynes leaves a well beaten park to Hoosick Falls. Winifred Hunt gives the back seat in room 15 to Alice Kagel. Raymond Hynick relinquishes his tuba to the next “sucker”. Robert Jacobsen wants to give his sax to somebody. Ellis Jones leaves William Cook lonesome. Theodore Kramer leaves Little Red Riding Hood still lost in the woods. Lois LeBarron leaves her mathematical ability to Beverly Post. Marjorie LeBarron leaves Luanne James alone at Hayden’s. Margaret Lavin leaves wondering if George is THE one. Roger LeMere leaves his quietness to Helen Betner in hopes that she just might use it. Hazel MacArt leaves her place in the group to Margaret Farrara. Marjorie McMahon leaves the job of carrying on at Petersburg to her sister Jean. Robert Merrill leaves the girls still dreaming. (HA! HA' HA!) Barbara Metcalf leaves us to see more of Pete. Jack Mulready leaves his technique of flirting to Donald Miner. Douglas Niles leaves Miss Leary giving a sigh of relief. Sylvia Phillips gives her seat in room 15 to some deserving Junior. Carleton Philpott deserts us glad to get out. Caroline Reagan is leaving Janice Robinson leaves her seat in room 14 to her sister who will be along in a few years. William Rourke III is leaving the teachers minus a headache.

Thelma Sharper leaves to her sister a nice long walk out of the mountains. Blanche Sherman gives the homemaking room a quieter atmos- phere when she leaves. Kendall Simpson leaves for service. Wilma Siemens leaves hoping to get a scholarship to Colgate. Beatrice Simmons is just leaving. Mary Lou Snyder leaves her nice friendship with Miss Smith to Marilyn Church. Ruth Tollisen leaves Mr. Moore with a hoarse throat. Hilda Wagner leaves Miss Colberg with her gym exercises. Dawn Wilbur leaves wishing she could get aboard the U. S. S. Tarawa. Thomas Wysocki leaves Miss Leary without a pet. Margaret Chase Marilyn Byars [ fge thirty- CL til J- XojllldCLI July 5. 1965 Dear Marilyn, Now that you are Master of the National Grange. I suppose you feel up in the world. I am writing this letter to describe the doings that occurred back home. Since you were the only one absent, I thought it best to write you the re- sults of what I saw and heard. Yesterday July 4. 1965, at Hoosick Falls High School, there was a combination of events: a fourth of July celebration and a meeting of the class of ’51. Purpose? To discuss the past. At 9 A. M. we started on a tour of the school led bv Marlene Archer, the first woman principal of H. F. H. S. I hear that she is running it more smoothly than ever. Along the halls were hung paintings by the famous artists. Kalinowski and Cox. who have recently returned to the states from a tour through different European art galleries. Following the tour we attended a parade which was led by the All- American bandleader, Jerry Bentley. After terminating his contract with Harry James. Jerry started a jazz band of his own. you know. He hired the famous Ray Hvnick, who plays the tuba: Elsie Howard, the singing comedian; and Jack Mulready. the most famous drummer in the world The music was simply divine. In the parade there were drum majorettes from that famous “Learn to be a Majorette School’’ in Philadelphia. The president of that school is none other than Sandy Curtice with Ruth Tollisen as her adviser. The parade included numerous beautiful floats entered by many organ- izations of the neighboring territory. For example, the entry of the New York State Grange, whose leader is the noted agricultural expert, Doug Niles, was very original in idea—a cow with Malcolm Brownell demon- strating you know what!! Written on a poster attached to the side of the float were the names of other leaders of the Grange: Carl Cottrell, Victor Grogan, Ted Kramer, Carleton Philpott, and Robert Rudd. As you probably remember, all these men were very much interested in agriculture. Well, next on the program was the presentation of a pennant donated by the Class of ’51 to the famous All-Star basketball team of Siena Col- lege. I was surprised at the names on the team roster: Nick DeLuca, Rob- ert Merrill, William Rourke III, Robert Sheldon, and Robert Jacobsen, with their manager, James Cutler. Amazing, isn’t it? Imagine having a whole team and even its manager from our class of ’51! They have won all their games and are still going strong even after they had been separated by a six-year term in the service. Well after that shocking part of the program I was relieved to see a song-and-dance routine given by Mary Jane Capano and Gladys Dooley. They were smooth! You know they are Arthur Murray’s assistants now. Yes! And are doing rather well judging by their appearance. Then, in Wood’s Memorial Park, the class presented a debate given bv those notorious Senators from New York: Blake. Republican, and Russell, Democrat. As you can probably remember, these two persons were al- ways arguing. We would have had a free-for-all if it hadn’t been for good old Judge Simpson. He always seemed to straighten things out (?) I sup- pose John Bierwirth told Ken to step in and take over so John could have time for his part of the program as the comedian. He is just as clownish as ever. Then it was time for our afternoon banquet at which tlje President of dun . . . continued the Peoples-First National Bank of Hoosick Falls, Joe Gahn, gave a speech welcoming us all back and wishing us a happy and joyful time. Joe’s secre- taries and bookkeepers are known to us all: Christina Carlos, Lois LeBarron, and Wilma Siemens. Remember the days when those people were worry- ing over their commercial subjects? Those were the days. In due time we were each given a late edition of the New York Times. Well, you’ll know the reason when you know that Marjorie McMahon is the editor! Yep, good old Marge. I recollect how she slaved over our Yearbook, hollering and yelling at us all the time. I hear from Bea Simmons, who is her advertising manager, that Marge hasn’t changed a bit! And guess what? Dawn Wilbur has her own column in the paper—“Dawn’s Believe It or Not. ’ Following the banquet we were free to do what we pleased. I walked around town and visited here and there with different fellow classmen. I talked with little Janet Eddy, who teaches Phys. Ed. at Troy High School: and with Caroline Bornt, formerly Caroline Reagan. Married life is treating her just dandy. I jabbered a bit with Dick Coonradt, who is teaching in a mission school in Mexico. He said he really enjoys Mexico and hopes to do quite a little traveling while he is there. I met up with David Durfee, who is president of the Board of Educa- tion in Brooklyn. I don’t envy him his job, do you? I saw that grand cou- ple, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Haynes. She is the former Barbara Metcalf. They are getting along the same as always. I heard that Elsie Kipp, Blanche Sherman, Thelma Sharper, Hilda Wagner, Gloria Burdick, and none other than Ella Brenenstuhl. have each started a home for old maids in six different states. They must live excit- ing lives. Also Roger LeMere, Donald Babcock, and Ellis Jones have started a home for old men in Florida. They certainly picked a good cli- mate and scenery for their home. Wouldn’t you think with all the girls that are supposed to be in Florida they could find some to suit them? Well, maybe someday. Have you heard that Mary Lou Snyder and Marjorie LeBarron have an orchestra of their own, and they run that famous Carols Grove. Each takes her turn calling square dances. Exciting! I heard that Marion Borage and Janice Robinson are both sergeants in the WACS. What an occupation to pick! I’d like to know their reasons for joining, wouldn’t you? Did you know that Dick Akin moved to Texas to start a cattle farm? Yes. and Winnie Hunt still carries the torch for him although she is very busy down in Albany with her beauty technique school which she and Sylvia Phillips hold in partnership. Every student who graduates from their school does her practicing in a beauty salon owned by Hazel MacArt and Gwen Sawtelle. Last of all I saw the famous farmers, Fred Cottrell and Tommy Wysocki, who run a farm for Fred’s brother, George. Did you know that Dolly Lavin finally made up her mind for George? They are living happily with their little crew of farmers. Well, it was quite a long day and I rode home in my new Baker 65. This is the model designed and manufactured by that car expert. Harvey Baker. Now I shall sign off and wish you-good luck in the.future Sincere yours, 9m Margaret Chase, Dean of Women .

The band under the direction of Mr. Cole is still looked on with much favor and enjoyment by the student body as well as the general public. During the year the band appeared on many occasions, among which were Itsemblies and football pep-rallies. It played on the following dates: Halloween Parade, an annual village event sponsored by the Youth Com- mission. October 31; the traditional Christmas Assembly Program. Decem- ber 20: Tri-State Music Festival at Bennington. April 28; sectional contest at Glens Falls. May 4 and Decoration Day Parade. May 30. On December 1 and 2 six members from the band participated in the sectional all-state band at East Greenbush. and on January 28 three of our members attended a sectional band clinic at Siena College. Mr. Cole's new program, which included the teaching of grade students, is sure to show its merits in the years to follow. page fifty-ant a 20 XUl 1st Row: Ann Ashworth.

During the year the chorus participated in the Christmas Assembly Program on December 20, the Tri-State Music Festival at Bennington on April 29, and the sectional contest at Glens Falls on May 5. This is the first year that the chorus has ever entered in an event of competitive nature. The accompanists were Alice Fink and Ann Ashworth for the first semester, and Mrs. Moore for the second semester. page fifty-tuo ( VocationalP zHonis.niciki.ny 1st Row: Gladys Dooley, Blanche Sherman, Elsie Kipp, Marjorie LeBarron, Caroline Reagan, Ella Brenenstuhl, Angela DiMaggio, Mary Lou Snyder, Sylvia Phillips.

Playing great ball, the team looked as if it would cop the county title until we met Greenwich and South High, both of whom put an end to our winning streak. Nevertheless it was a good year for Coach Eighmey and his lads. ■% pa:;? fifty-sh 1st Row: William Yurewitch, Thomas Hackett, Donald Sargood, Joseph Gahn, John Cramer.

By establishing this kind of record the team was able to capture the Saratoga League Cham- pionship. Although lacking sufficient varsity material, Coach Eighmey welded together a team that worked like a well-oiled machine. Backing up the first squad were a lot of young boys with a fighting spirit and a will to win. Only with such a fine combination as this could our excellent record have been rolled up. This year’s team had the privilege of playing a home-game under the lights. If the large, enthusiastic crowd was any measuring stick, night football seemed to have a strong appeal to the fans. page fifty-seven Left to right: Coach Eighmey, Nicholas DeLuca.

The team looked very much like a champion until the last three games when it lost its bottom and for unknown reasons just couldn’t win. Having just two men back from last year’s squad. Coach Eighmey molded a team which later on was to run away with its opponents and inspire them with fear. Height, speed and a fighting spirit were our team’s greatest assets. To roll up one victory out of three remaining games in order to parti- . cipate in the Saratoga play-offs seemed like an easy task for such a good team, but it wasn’t possible. However oun quintet did go to Convention Hall in Saratoga, where we lost the class C Division title to Ballston Spa. At any rate, the team was one to be proud of and on the whole had a good season. Our hats go off to a swell coach, who d � erves nothing short of a champion team every year, Coach Eighmey. +1 page fifty-eight Cfuniox ( Vaxiitij lB aJz£.tiTatt 1st Row: Richard Liporace, Gerald Bentley, Charles Kalinowski, Robert Jacobsen.

As we, the class of 1951, pass through these doors for the final time and start down the many pathways of life, it is with fond memories that we remember our days at H. F. H. S.—days of fun and frolic and a bit of serious work. Even the little things like taking pictures, pass- ing notes in class, getting report cards, attending weekly assemblies and going on field trips, all have gone to make up our high school life. H. F. H. S., you offered us an opportunity to take courses which would best prepare us for the future. You also gave us a chance to develop our talents by means of clubs and organizations. If V We came to you, H. F. H. S. as children and we leave ydu, we hope, as adults better able to meet and take an important part in what lies ahead. We eagerly await these new experiences which are to be found in this troubled world we will soon enter. Whatever our voca- tions, we know we must travel along paths of unknown destiny. Yet we harbor no fears, and we lack no confi- dence. for we pledge ourselves to do our work and do it the best we know how. You have helped us in this goal and we say— THANK YOU AND FAREWELL H. F. H.
